| Company Overview: AIG TravelGuard is offered through over 12,000 travel companies. AIG operates in more than 130 countries and jurisdictions. AIG Travel Guard is a subsidiary of AIG Travel, Inc., a member of the American International Group. They have been in the travel insurance business for over 20 years. |
|
| Our Review: AIG Travel Guard is probably one of the more well known companies, as their website demonstrates. They have all the information laid out for you, and openly offer 24 hour customer support, either via phone or e-mail. They also offer a comprehensive information section on why you should have holiday insurance, which is nice. |

| User Review: I never thought about holiday insurance until we took a vacation to Mexico and everything went wrong. I heard about AIG Travel Guard through my travel agency, so I called them and got a policy on the spot, and saved our vacation. They were great to work with, and answered all my questions. |

|
| Company Overview: Good Sam Club was founded over 40 years ago as a member of the RV.net family. They originally sold only club memberships and RV insurance, but have expanded their reach to include many other types of insurance. |
|
| Our Review: In order to get holiday insurance here you need to have a membership. It’s not a bad deal, though, if you’re also an avid RVer. However, if all you need is travel insurance, you’ll probably find a better deal elsewhere. |
|
| User Review: I have been RVing for ten years now, and have been a member of the Good Sam Club since I started. When my family wanted to take a vacation to Canada, I was able to get a holiday insurance policy direct from them, so that I didn’t have to take my chances with a new company. |

|
| Company Overview: MultiNational Underwriters offers holiday insurance through Lloyds, London for people from any country traveling abroad or moving overseas. They have over 40 years of experience in the financial and insurance markets, and insure over 1 million people in over 100 countries. |
|
| Our Review: MultiNational Underwriters has a great website in that it is completely basic. On their front page they display the three plans they offer and explain the details. They don’t have links on the page, though. They are available 24/7, which is always a plus when it comes to holiday insurance. Contact information is provided at the bottom of the main page. |
|
| User Review: I found this company through a web search for holiday insurance. I was able to review the plans and see which coverage best suited my needs without even applying for a quote or talking to anyone. I did end up using their policy in the end, and the service was great. |

| How To Select The Best Company For Holiday Insurance |
|
Finding holiday insurance is not a complicated matter, and is almost essential when you think of how much money you’ve invested in your vacation. Most people don’t think about holiday insurance until something goes wrong on their vacation, which is too late most of the time. If you’ve invested your savings into a family vacation, don’t you want it protected? That is why you get holiday insurance; thus if anything should go wrong with your holiday, then you don’t have to worry about paying more money, or losing money for that matter. When searching for holiday insurance, it is important to know which companies offer insurance in which countries. Some companies will offer holiday insurance no matter where you are traveling, but some companies only insure trips to certain countries or areas. Another important consideration is how long your holiday insurance will be needed. Depending on whether you are going on holiday for a week or for months, perhaps even a year, there are different companies that offer different plans. Some only offer short term insurance, while others offer long and short term holiday insurance. You also need to be sure that you’re getting the coverage that you need; some insurance policies only cover health related expenses, while others cover health, theft, natural disasters and travel related delays that you cannot afford out of pocket. It is important to research your options and decide what kind of coverage you need. Also, getting referrals from friends and associates that have purchased holiday insurance is very beneficial. Getting holiday insurance doesn’t have to be complicated as long as you understand what you’re looking for, and you’ve done research on all of your options. If you have any questions, you can always consult with your travel agent or a local independent insurance agency for assistance.
